Probably you'd try the newest Vortexbox +Vortexboxplayer feeding your DAC.
Buy yourself a Zotac Zbox or similar at 200$ and you'll might end up with a quite nice solution. I might try it myself. I tried the MF V-DAC II (IMO a very nice DAC) on my latest Touch setup (using plughw!!!) against a Windows 7 + JRMC 16 (RAM playback and Wasapi event style) + Fidelizer setup. My little ADAM A5x speakers were more than sufficient to tell that the W7 setup IMO performed much better at that point. Conclusion from my side: The Touch and USB DACs won't go together properly. I won't spent anymore time on that subject. The Touch via SPDIF (after heavily tweaking) can IMO outperform highest quality USB-SPDIF interfaces though.
